Day 121 2 Chronicles 14:9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with a host of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah. 10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name, we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. 12 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. Do you feel like you have nowhere to turn when trouble comes your way? Asa, the son of Abijah, the son of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king over Judah. He followed the Lord and looked to Him when trouble came his way. He prayed to God and asked for deliverance from their enemies. God heard his prayer and delivered them from Zerah the Ethiopian. As Christians, your enemy, Satan, comes against you bringing trouble your way. What do you do? Do you turn to social media and let everyone know what is happening in your life? Or do you turn to God and ask Him for help? Only one can help and it isn’t social media. Asa knew where his help came from and prayed for God to deliver them from their enemy. When you know where your help comes from, you will seek His help and God will bring deliverance. Psalm 121:1 (A Song of degrees.) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help. 2 My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he who keeps thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore. When trouble comes your way, turn to God and He will deliver you. Let’s pray: Father, help me seek You when Satan comes against me to draw me away from You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
